The portability of the flash remains about the same. I use the Quantum
Turbo, which is a bit larger, and heavier, than the Turbo Z. I sling the
battery, on a strap, over my shoulder kind of like a shoulder holster. If
you shoot weddings, Quantum batteries are not an overkill, they are a
necessity. I also use a lot of daylight fill flash when I'm just shooting
outdoors for my own enjoyment.
